Minus the Bear commemorate 10th anniversary of “They Make Beer Commercials Like This” EP with Seattle show on Friday, July 27
Seattle’s own Minus the Bear will celebrate the 10th anniversary of their breakthrough EP “They Make Beer Commercials Like This” with a local show at the Columbia City Theater at 8 p.m. June 27.
The Band had this to say on it’s website regarding the anniversary.
One day you wake up and realize you’ve been a band long enough that it’s not your first release that is a decade old, but rather your third release that is passing this milestone! That’s right friends, one of our favorite collections of MTB songs, “They Make Beer Commercials Like This” is turning ten years old this summer! In celebration, we decided to throw a party like it’s 2004 and play the EP in it’s entirety along with a smattering of other MTB classics during an exclusive two night affair in the lovely Pacific Northwest. These shows will be in Seattle at the Columbia Theater June 27; andPortland at the Doug Fir, June 29. Capacity at these venues is extremely limited so you will want to grab tickets while they last, as they are sure to sell out. It’s going to be a ton of fun so dust off your dancing shoes and don’t miss out!
Along with these shows we have a few other dates coming up for you to check out as well:
